A man in Jamaica sent a letter to all his relatives, through a 3rd party, that he had died and needed some aid with the funeral. The families abroad sent thousands so that dude could have a proper burial
Our bredrin, collected all of the money, bought a house, a van and started a successful delivery business which his family soon heard about and started to cuss my dude on how deceitful he is
Our bredrin wrote back to the family saying, “If I asked you all to invest in a home, van or business with me, none of you would yet you will pay for my death”
Moral of the story, give love, praise, money, honor to those who you live with today
Spanky gave me this story which I wrote in my own interpretation, but yu ketch the drift
Spanky persevered through the abusive fire of babylon and 2023 him still deh yah
He lives a life guided by Garvey, Malcolm, Nanny molded by Haile Selassie l. The world loves to honor man and man after dem nuh deh bout so I honor him today because I man rate how he stood up to over three hundred raids {I guestimate} and standing firm as Sovereign Smoke today
